Is it possible to render MIDI clips to audio with tails?

Post by ReverendEntity » Wed May 04, 2016 1:08 am

Whenever I render a MIDI clip to audio, Ableton 9 always cuts off any fade or tail that the original MIDI clip had. Is there a way to work around this, short of laying out the MIDI clip in the Arrangement view and rendering that? I tried adding an extra bar of blank space, but Ableton always renders the clip twice as long with the second half looped, so there is an empty bar in the middle of the clip before the looped half. I would like to be able to render a clip out so that it has the fade - then I could just loop it manually.

Hi,
not sure I understand what you mean by a MIDI clip that has a tail.
Are you talking about something like a reverb tail?

When I freeze and flatten clips in arrangement mode, it creates the tail. Try it there on a duplicate track. Then you can drag back into clip view.

I don’t think you can in session view, but even if you could how would you go about playing it? Stopping the clip is stopping the clip. It’s not going to play the tail past the loop point when you stop the clip or its going to create an odd loop length that restarts from the beginning after the tail ends.
